Where is that code checked in ? I don't see it for 2.6.30..
Anyways we still need a fix for the previous kernels.

Yeah we thought about it.
But that still leaves another race, there is no guarantee that the frame
would not be reused by mpt_HardResetHandler. Since after reset it can
call SendEventNotification, which can allocate message frame, which may
then confuse your freeing logic. If that happens it would result in we
freeing some other used frame. Another thing that we thought about was
having this check in mpt_free_msg_frame along with moving the
free_msg_frame call before mpt_HardResetHandler, but that too leaves a
window open for the request frame to be reused due to the 250ms msleep.
IMHO the best way to fix this is avoid having these double free calls in
the first place rather than putting in these checks in the
mpt_free_msg_frame function.
Thanks,
